QBM introduces our Performance Porting Services to those that want to extract the maximum performance from their vehicles. We work with you and develop tailor made solutions that will fit your needs and budget. Whether its manifold porting or full blown racing headwork, we are here to help you achieve your goals.

QBM developed our Performance Shift Kit to solve the 2 main contributors of poor shift feel - the mushy rubber bushings at the shifter assembly and the transmission cables. The difference in shift feel is amazing, and once installed you will love to drive your car again. It fits all 93-99 850 and x70 models and is a breeze to install.

Many of you asked us to solve your problem of the side engine mount wearing out from racing, drag launches, or extreme power. We listened and developed our X-Treme Performance Lower Engine Side Mount. We built on the successful techniques of our other performance mounts and came up with this bulletproof bad boy. We have to warn you, this mount is not for everyone. Due to its solid polyurethane design you will notice an increase in cabin vibration. But for high-power and racing vehicles you will not find a better mount short of a solid metal mount (our mount will be much more comfortable than a solid metal mount because our mount does have some compliance).

If you are an 850 owner and are looking to get back to your Volvo roots, consider installing one of our Eggcrate Grilles. They are easy to install and look great! They are compatible with the stock hood latch and you an even install your stock grille "slash" for a true OEM look.

If you are having problems holding higher boost your Compressor Bypass Valve is likely the culprit. The CBV has a rubber diaphragm that tears with age/mileage, leaking boost. And if you have an ECU upgrade or boost controller, the CBV can leak due to weak spring pressure (that was designed for stock boost levels). Our CBV Upgrade Kit was designed to allow you to upgrade the CBV the "right way" way for maximum boost and power.

Give your older Volvo the European look with a set of direct fit Euro-spec sidemarker lights. They will install onto a wide variety of Volvo models and will notify vehicles in the adjacent lane that your sweet ride is getting ready to change lanes!

Give your older Volvo a fresh newer look with a set of direct fit "P2-style" sidemarker lights. They are made to look like the sleek side marker lamps found on newer model Volvos (i.e. P2 V70, S60, S80, etc), giving your car a subtle but updated look. They will install onto a wide variety of Volvo models and will notify vehicles in the adjacent lane that your sweet ride is getting ready to change lanes!

Our composite Phenolic Intake Manifold Spacers create an insulating barrier between your aluminum cylinder head and intake manifold. This prevents thermal transfer to reduce intake temperatures, freeing up horsepower and reducing detonation. They are easy to install and are available for a variety of models including turbocharged and normally-aspirated vehicles.

We now offer a boot upgrade kit for our X-Treme Performance End Links. After thorough testing they have proved invaluable at maximizing the life of the rod ends used on the end links (especially on street driven vehicles). They fit all X-Treme Performance End Link models, and are easy to install!

All of our products come with detailed installation instructions. But in case you misplaced or damaged your copy, you can download installation instructions for most QBM products right from our website. 'My dog ate it' is no longer an excuse!

Since we released our rear cross brace for the 850/V70 wagon, the response has been very positive. However, we received a lot of requests from customers with the optional 3rd row seat. If you have the 3rd row seat installed in your wagon you no longer have to feel left out. The QBM 850/V70 Rear Cross Brace is now available for all 93-00 850/V70 wagons including those with the optional 3rd row seat.

We now offer fitments of our Performance Upper Firewall Mount for all 93-97 850, 98-00 S/V70, and 98-04 C70 models. The soft rubber bushing in the stock firewall mount deteriorates and tears, causing unwanted engine movement, poor shifting performance, odd clunks and accelerated wear on other mounts. If your car has more than 50k miles or is more than 5 years old, you should consider replacing the stock mount with one of our upgraded performance mounts!

Eliminate chassis flex on your 850/V70 wagon with our 850/V70 Wagon Rear Cross Brace. It improves chassis rigidity and steering response, all while fitting completely under the rear cargo panels and allowing full access to the spare tire and rear cargo area. Don't suffer anymore with that rubbery and disconnected feeling rear end!

Eliminate chassis flex on your 01+ S60, 01-07 V70, 99-06 S80, or 03+ XC90 with QBM's innovative Strut Bar Conversion. QBM's dual-purpose Strut Bar Conversion limits unnecessary engine and transmission movement AND reduces strut tower flex by tying the strut towers together. Installation is fast and easy, and it's extremely effective!

We now offer fitments of our Performance Lower Torque (Transmission) Mount for 98-00 S70 AWD and 98-00 V70 R/AWD models, as well as all current P2 vehicles including the 01+ S60, 01-07 V70, and 99-06 S80! Upgrading this mount on P2 cars is crucial. We discovered that this mount wears up to 5xs faster thanks to the Neutral Shift feature that is standard on ALL automatic equipped vehicles! The Neutral Shift feature shifts the car from D to Neutral and back to D again every time the vehicle comes to a stop regardless of what gear is selected with the shifter! This feature has proved so unpopular that Volvo is removing the feature as part of a ECM/TCM software update. We've seen cars just one year old with a completely torn lower torque mount! If your P2 car is suffering from jerky shifting, poor idle, clunks or other noises it is very likely this mount is the culprit.

Do you have an 850 or x70 and get frustrated when it rains because they lack an adjustable intermittent windshield wiper delay? Try one of our Programmable Intermittent Wiper Relays and see how much fun the rain can be again! Available for 850 and x70 models.

QBM CBV Blanking Plates are now available for those that wish to install a BOV the right way. Our CBV Blanking Plate is essential whether you want to install a BOV because the "pshhh" sound is music to your ears, or because you are losing boost pressure from a torn CBV diaphragm. Try one today - your turbo will thank you!
